September 2026 - SSBE Conference
This year again, the SMS was at the SSBE Annual Meeting 2026 jointly hosted this year by the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) and the ARTORG Center of the University of Bern.
Dr. Nasim Kabir presented a poster entitled “Beam Profiling and Artificial-Skin Thermal Validation of Deep UVC Catheter Disinfection System”. This work was achieved in collaboration with the company Aseptuva.
Mrs. Jasmine Rosselli, MSE student @ SUPSI but associated with our group for her Master Thesis presented a poster entitled “Development of a Temperature Control System Applied to Insulin Pumps to Prevent Insulin Denaturation”. This work was achieved in collaboration with the company mylife Diabetes Care.
In addition, Mrs. Mahsa Nasehi, PhD student at the samlab under the supervision of Prof. Witthauer, presented a talk entitled “Liquid Crystal-based Interferometric Detection of Optical Activity for Glucose Sensing”. Denis Stahl from SMS was involved in the project for the simulation of the voltage-driven nematic liquid-crystal retarder.
Congratulation to all!

"Enabling Science and Technology with cutting-edge Engineering"
Our team of engineers and scientists has been applying for more than 10 years well-established and emerging measurement methods to relevant medical and biological problems. We collaborate with startups, international companies as well as leading academic partners and bring our engineering expertise to projects requiring state-of-the-art technical development.
We have been dedicated to creating impact by cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset and thinking beyond academic publishing, focusing on technology transfer from the laboratory to industry. Our funding sources include the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse), the EU (Eurostars, Horizon 2020), the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), various private foundations as well as direct funding from industry.
Our core competence is the development of innovative sensors and measurement methods in biomedical engineering from prototype design up to (pre)clinical validation. From sweat sensing and artificial skin to the detection and quantification of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles or thermotherapy devices, we are not afraid of tackling new challenges.
We benefit from state-of-the-art infrastructure that allows the development of demanding prototypes together with a team of talented and experienced scientists as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your project and experience yourself our group motto!
Prof. Mathias Bonmarin
